FOOD WITH FAM
is a community built on reciprocity and reimagining our relationship to food and one another.
Since our birth at the dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have aimed to build a sustainable model of produce distributions that not only provides nourishment and sustenance to disadvantaged neighborhoods throughout New York City, but builds long-lasting trust and connections that can become a vehicle for greater health and collaboration amongst New Yorkers.
Our Network
is a diverse community of volunteers, New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) partners, community leaders, and everyday New Yorkers who work to serve each other.
We have cultivated a mutual participatory framework where everyday sustenance can become a platform for economic relief, human connection, artistic expression, and community.
Join the Fam
To keep actively serving our neighbors, friends, and communities, we need all the help you are willing to provide. If you would like to connect with FOOD WITH FAM as a volunteer, community partner, educator or chef, please reach out.
Volunteer experiences are open-ended and there is no steadfast requirement, or set way to contribute or help out. From donating food, to donating your vehicle, to donating your time, all volunteer efforts are appreciated equally.
All inquiries and ideas are welcome so please reach out.
